78 years ago, over 750,000 Palestinians were expelled from their homeland in what became known as the Nakba - the catastrophe. More than 530 villages were destroyed. 15,000 people were killed. 78% of historic Palestine was seized. Those who fled took their house keys, believing they would return in days. They never did. Their descendants still carry those keys.
This is not history. It was policy - and it never stopped.
In Gaza, over 75,000 Palestinians have been killed since October 2023. 1.9 million people have been displaced multiple times over. Every university destroyed. 95% of schools damaged. 90% of hospitals out of service. Now Israel has drawn a "Yellow Line" placing 60% of the Strip under permanent military control - sealing Palestinians from their own land.
In the West Bank, 750,000 Israeli settlers now occupy Palestinian land illegally. Over 1,500 Palestinians have been killed since October 2023. More than 4,000 are held in administrative detention without charge. Israel's own top military commander bragged about killing Palestinians "like we haven't since 1967."
In southern Lebanon, over 2,500 people have been killed and 1 million displaced since March 2026. 308 healthcare facilities and ambulances have been damaged or destroyed. In a single 10-minute attack on April 8, Israeli forces struck 150 locations simultaneously. Israel has committed over 10,000 ceasefire violations since November 2024 - and has published a map formalizing its illegal occupation of Lebanese territory.
From Gaza to the West Bank to southern Lebanon - the names of the operations change. The goal does not. The erasure of Palestinians from their land is not a series of isolated conflicts. It is a single, continuous colonial project that began in 1948 and has never stopped.
The Nakba is not history. It is now.
